      <h1>Metadata for Data and Services (MDS) Version: 2.0</h1><img src="mds.png"><h2>Description</h2>
      <p>MDS 2.0 is an XML Schema implementation derived from ISO ISO 19115-1, Geographic Information - Metadata - Part 1: Fundamentals, Clause 6.5.2.  It includes this namespace contains all classes needed for a complete metadata record for any
         resource. It is used for metadata records that do not include geospatial common extensions
         (gex), extenbsions to the schema (mex), data series (DS_*) elements (mda) or metadata
         for data transfer (mdt). The XML schema was encoded using the rules described in ISO/TS 19139:2007, Clause 8 and implementation approach from ISO/TS19115-3, Clause
         8.
